u/Beginning_Database_8

Hi, how are you? I'd like to make a game. I've always been interested in making one, but I've never looked into how. I'm currently unemployed and would like to use this free time productively. Creating a video game seems interesting to me, and I know it takes a lot of time and dedication, as does design, story writing, etc. But to start, I don't know if I need top-of-the-line equipment, or if my PC can handle the work. I'd appreciate any help and advice on where and how to begin, and what I should keep in mind. Any advice is welcome, and thanks in advance.
